Do People Still Use The Farmer's Almanac?

So. Getting a HOME home is rapidly becoming a non-option. Due to the housing crash, a lot of rental homes that are owned by independent, mom and pop owners are getting outright bought by realtors and flipped for jacked up prices to rent. Everything in our price range was bad (as in, tiles falling off the houses. Dead geckos all over the floor. FOR 1700 A MONTH.)

That's why I've been quiet on that front. House hunting has all but stopped, and we just begrudgingly accepted apartment living to stack cash. With our budget we were lucky enough to get approved for a very nice apartment by a local park, so I'm looking forward to that. We are visiting today to look at things and measure things, then go to IKEA to get some odds and ends. Maybe I'll even take pictures of this new apartment?!

Now that I can't have a big fantastical garden, I'm thinking of other things to do. Like, small scale. Checking the Farmer's Almanac, it looks like I just missed the Fall planting dates for just about everything except kale. Maybe I will grow some kale until December/January comes, then I can grow everything else. NOTHING BUT KALE TO EAT FOR DAYS.

I still have the ~Homemaker's Chat~ saved from the old USDA files. Maybe I'll ... shit idk pickle some of that kale?! WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH KALE????

Oh no! I'm sorry you're disappointed.

I downloaded Spiritfarer today for the switch and was like. Oh no. A small resource management game where you assist spirits thru the afterlife. Thought of you.

Kale recipes. (I love kale)

stirfry it with onions, add beans, and garlic cayenne smoked paprika. Add sweet potato (10 stars)? Add cheese? To me it doesn't really taste of anything but has a chewier texture when cooked than spinach managed.

I don't have any more recipes because I like this one so much. Also you can freeze kale, like just stick in a ziploc, then you will never be overwhelmed and yet have plenty of kale.

So happy that you can now play as me in the Nintendo Switch. Try not to ruin me.

I like kale because i cant stand the soupiness of spinach when cooked. Raw spinach good. But once steam or heat hits it, it's a shriveled wet lil mess. I don't need that energy in my life.

You can freeze it?! I'll never need to buy this shit at that rate then, considering how much kale produces...

Yeah you’ll read that you should blanch(?) it first but just. Stick it in the freezer. Test first though because the cooked texture is a bit different than cooking fresh. (Look at that. Ten second reply time. I’ve decided it’s just because we’re in the same time zone)
